It's a beautiful day in the galactic neighborhood of the 32nd century. The Federation is back, Starfleet no longer needs to hide behind a cloak, and there's *plenty* of dilithium to go around. Michael and the crew of Discovery are just humming along with the pace of progress. So the new Federation President and Michael aren't getting along so well; and so Saru is still on the planet Kaminar taking his leave of absence from Star Fleet; and so not every planet is super excited to join up with the Fed – it's still a pretty good life.
But then a deep space outpost gets into some trouble and the causes for it are mysterious and Michael gets chewed out by the President (who decides to tag along) for being to desperate to save everyone and then Kewjian (Book's home planet) gets blowed all the way up.
And, well, it's off to the races in Season 4 of Star Trek Discovery!
